You're on a really unhealthy diet. Not eating junk food and drinking water is great, but eating only fruits and veggies doesn't give your body what it needs.
The only real way to lose weight is to burn off more calories than you eat every day. I think it's something like if you burn off 500 more calories than you eat EVERY DAY you can lose a pound a week. That doesn't sound like much, but taking it slow is much better than crash diets. Obviously, this will be easier if you don't eat junk food and things with lots of fat and calories in it. Eating 1500 calories a day is good for most people, so you's have to burn off 2000 a day. It sounds like a lot, but try to burn off calories after every meal instead of trying to burn off 2000 all at once. Go on a treadmill, walk your dog, go for a bike ride, whatever you can do during the day.
BTW, why do you want to lose weight anyway? I'm not skinny, but I'm average and I like myself the way I am. I don't understand why people are so unhappy with how they look and want to look like the photoshopped pictures of models in magazines. Just learn to like yourself the way you are! Some girls just will never be able to weigh 100 pounds, it has to do with your genetics. If you have health problems from being overweight, then you should try to lose weight to get healthy. But if you want to lose weight just because you don't like how you look, I think that's pointless.
Anyways, good luck!
